Green Power Denmark has set up a network for companies working on the establishment of larger battery plants. So far, 21 companies, including project developers and electricity grid companies, have joined the new BESS network. The green business organization reports this on its website.
The network focuses on sharing knowledge and handling common challenges in the work with 'battery energy storage systems' (BESS plants), which are used to support the energy system and integrate more renewable energy. In 2023, 17.2 GWh of new battery plants were installed in Europe - a growth of 94 percent compared to the previous year.
- We are well underway and have already held the first events, workshops and dialogues with authorities. The purpose of the BESS network is to strengthen the sector, among other things, by sharing knowledge and solving common challenges, says consultant at Green Power Denmark August Bech.
Battery systems play a central role in the green transition, as they can store energy and contribute to a more stable electricity grid. In Denmark, there is increasing interest in the technology, and several MW-sized systems are already in operation. The electricity grid companies are also experiencing growing demand for grid connection of new systems.
According to SolarPower Europe, the growth in BESS systems will continue towards 2028, although with an expected annual increase of 30-40 percent. The network is therefore working to develop best practices for both fire safety and the location of the systems in the municipalities.
- It is therefore expected that we will also see high growth in Denmark. We expect a steep learning curve when it comes to integrating the technology into the Danish energy system. In the network we make each other more aware of the challenges and will hopefully formulate some of the solutions, says August Bech.
